Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox 360): Only One Band Per Career Save

No. Guitar Hero 5 Career Mode supports **only one band per save file**. You cannot create/switch between multiple distinct bands within a single career.

Why?

• Single Progression Spine: Career is a linear narrative: "The Band" rises from garage to stadium. Roster, fans, money, unlocks, and gig history are singular.
• Save Structure: One career save slot per profile. Band members (4 slots) are fixed to that save.

Workarounds for Variety

1. New Save File / Profile: Create a 2nd Xbox 360 Profile (or Guest) → Start New Career → Different band name/members/instruments. Switch profiles to switch bands.
2. Party Play / Quickplay: Drop-in/drop-out any song, any instrument, any difficulty. No progression. Best for "jamming" with rotating friends.
3. Band Moments / Challenges: Replay specific songs with different instrument combos for stars.
4. GH5 Import Tool: Import GH:WT / SH / Band Hero songs into GH5 Career setlist (if you own exports).

Comparison: Band Hero / Warriors of Rock

• Band Hero: Same 1-band career structure. "Pop" focus.
• Warriors of Rock: **Quest Mode** = Single hero journey. No band management. But **Quickplay+** allows custom setlists/shared online.

Bottom Line: One band per career save. Use multiple profiles for multiple bands. Party Play for zero-commitment multi-instrument fun.
